that's not illegal in the cia. they are not looking for an affair. they are looking for any product of an affair that could be constituted as illegal. with that in mind, doesn't protocol go out the window the moment an e-mail is found that constitutes the potential of classified information being in the hands of the wrong person of the mistress? >> i don't think protocol ever goes out the window. that's why it's very strict and the mere fact that the fbi is investigating someone in and of itself can damage their careers ir rep blee. so to not have something that turns out to be unfounded and the integrity case to uncover all of the material, make sure everything has been examined which could be a lot of material, to ensure that there had not been a breach. the fact that they had at no point uncovered criminal activity on petraeus' part or a breach of security, once they do, it's going to become public and create a problem for continuing the case. >> tom fuentes, thank you so much for your insight. i appreciate it. >>> there's a couple of newspapers h

>> the person representing the cia and the cia's knowledge will be mike morrell, the now acting director of cia, previously in the 9/11 attack, the deputy director. mike is a career officer who is perfectly competent to represent the cia and testify on their behalf. now, congress can ask petraeus to come up and testify. question is if he was not willing to cooperate, could they subpoena him? i suppose it's possible. i think all of that is unlikely. i think if they ask him to appear, i expect that it is likely he would be willing to do that. we can't be sure, but frankly, rather than go through that, it ought to be about the facts of benghazi and 9/11 and congress ought to be able to get the information they need from the cia through mike morrell. >> fran, i heard this and give me your opinion on it, that there's got to be something more to this than maybe just the e-mails. do you think we'll find out any more information or is this it? it's over, he resigned, case closed? >> i think the administration and obviously dave petraeus would like the story to be done now. he's resigned. we know

the right and conservative media outlets have been going after the administration over reports that cia leaders denied repeated requests for their people in benghazi to help in the fight. and just yesterday, a senior official denied that to cnn, that that ever happened. that whole back and forth, they say, never happened. so just days before this election, on november 6th, do you think that this will have any impact on who wins or do you think this is just an argument for ideologues here? >> i think it is the latter, don. i think this is a highly politicized set of charges and countercharges. i think the republicans have been searching for some entry point to criticize obama on foreign policy. obama had what the public regards as generally a pretty successful foreign policy. libya proved to be one place they could go in, because there was a -- there was a mishandling of the events right after the assassination, the murder of the ambassador. they didn't know what was happening. they got out some wrong information. but the idea that there was some kind of purposeful, you know, cover-up, t
